Why would the United States rather spend tens of billions to support Ukraine than spend money to build high-speed rail and airports?

The American government represents the interests of monopoly capitalists, who are monopoly capitalist countries, that is, imperialism. They rely on capital export to make other countries run and get the maximum profit. The United States spends tens of billions to support Ukraine, and they will earn greater benefits, and Ukraine will pay the bill. Not unconditional support. It is not in the interests of capitalists to build high-speed rail, airport and other infrastructure in China with low profits or even financing.

The key reason why the United States is willing to spend money to support Ukraine in the war rather than to spend money to build a high-speed rail airport is that we have a high understanding of the nature of American capitalist countries. The president of the United States seems to be elected by ordinary people. Ordinary people's votes can only be elected through various sponsorships of capitalists to help presidential candidates run for office. Therefore, the US government should speak for the big American capitalists. I am willing to allocate tens of billions of dollars to finance the war in Ukraine. Instead of helping Ukraine, it is better to help the military-industrial complex make money. This money seems to be used in Ukraine, but it actually went into the pocket of the boss of the military complex.

As for building a high-speed rail or an airport. We should also understand that the United States has a history of 300 years after all. They have too many railways, not fewer, and even pulled down some railways to get the present scale. There are more airports in the United States, but there are actually 10000 airports in the United States. Most people travel by air. They are very close to the city. They just need to drive through the city and fly, so the flights over the United States are the busiest in the world.

But if you build bridges and pave roads, especially high-speed rail, the technical content is particularly high. And the surrounding land will be expropriated. Because Americans have privatized their own land, if some personal land and surrounding private land are to be expropriated, the cost of negotiation and litigation will be very high, like sky-high prices. So for Americans, the cost of building a high-speed rail is really unattainable. Relatively speaking, Americans have a very perfect plane, that is, the aviation system, so Americans like to fly farther and the air tickets are not expensive.

On the one hand, Americans have a very developed highway system, which is available in every household. There are many cars and gasoline is not expensive. Because the United States itself is an oil-producing country, it is very expensive to build a high-speed rail in this case. Needless to say, you may not make money. The American people are rich. They have a car and a plane to do, and they have a lot of choices, so they may not be able to afford to build a high-speed rail.

Relatively speaking, there are only over 300 airports in China. We have a population of 65.438+0.4 billion, while Americans have only 360 million. As far as aviation airports are concerned, the United States should have many times more airports than us, so they didn't lack airports from the beginning. The only problem is that their airport was built too early and too old and needs to be renovated. The reason why China is keen on building high-speed rail is also based on the national conditions. After all, we are also a country short of oil and import a lot of oil. Moreover, with a large population, the cost of traveling by plane is too high.

For a country with a large population, it is obvious that the construction of high-speed rail should not only take care of most people's travel, but also take care of cost saving, considering our huge human capital advantages in building these high-speed rails and our crazy infrastructure advantages.
